wow...so it's two days before prom and i've decided to change my prom dress. i'm actually wearing a red one. i'll post pictures in a few days. hehe...i love the blue one i got too much. i think i'm gonna end up wearing that to my junior prom instead and, for senior prom, i'm going all out for a princess dress!!! biggrin.gif

What you guys think of this?
I think its perfect for junior prom and my friend
since i always thought she was fierce like the leopard haha.
it was only 25$ so i think it worth it.
The color is absolutely wonderful

wenjjang; i've seen plenty of girls wear that dress to prom. & everytime i see it, i think its cute [:
joonieballoonie
Waa so many beautiful dresses!

I remember a lot of people liked this dress, though it might have been in the 2007 prom thread...did anybody ever get it replicated? It's so beautiful...my ideal dress if it were in a different color.



I also liked these



hpnotiq
WENJJANG: Personally, it doesn't seem like a prom dress. Maybe like winterformal? My friend actually got a similar one from Express for winterformal.. But don't get me wrong, it's cute!

joonieballoonie: I think malevolent (I don't know if thats her actual ID, but it was something like that) got it made? I was looking at the 2007 Prom thread not to long ago. But I'm not 100% sure. & I absolutely love the red dress you posted. I've been looking for it for like 2340384 years, but no luck sad.gif
inamorata.<3
I picked up my dress today, it was being made, and now I am soooo excited for prom tomorrow. =D Will post pictures after prom. ^^

hpnotiq: jovani makes a dress kinda sorta like the red one, except with a bow on it:
uninfatuated
joonieballoonie: i wanted that dress to be my prom dress as well after i saw beyonce wear it for her dreamgirls oscar performance. i was going to make it by myself but the whole bust part seemed so complicated and i am scrambling for time. but there are lots of dresses that look similar to it except for the unique bust part. the blue one that lilazngtc8 posted is gorgeous and it does look similar as well.

prom is tomorrow and i'm still not finished with my dress. ahhh. everything is so last minute and all of my dates are so nonchalant about the whole thing while i'm freaking out on how to find a ride.

this year i spent way too much money on the whole thing. my ticket costs a little less than my shoes/dress/bag combined and i'm using my owned money instead of my parents.

i'm going to do my eyebrows and nails right now. and also i'm thinking about using my new epilator under my arms...i finally put batterries in that thing and i'm scared. ahahaha ph34r.gif

I'm thinking of getting this...is it too simple? Compared to all the other dresses with rhinestones and embellishments, it looks a little plain.

Sometimes the simplest dresses stand out the most. If everyone wears dresses with rhinestones and embellishments, your simple dress will stand out because it's different.

I remember last year at prom, my friend wore a red dress with no rhinestones and she really stood out in our crowd.

simple is classy, so don't think of it as just being "plain." i'm sure you'll look beautiful in that dress.

i think i'm going to be getting this dress, but in black.


Alexia Admor
it was around $200~$300?
Do you think this is appropriate for prom? I was going to get it in white

but black, like you can wear it anywhere.

I'm hoping i'd be able to wear this anytime after prom too
hpnotiq
lilaznqtc8: thanks for your help smile.gif but yeah I've actually seen those dresses. I really like the blue one, but the price tag on that is like $700. It's waaay to much for me. But thanks for your help. I appreciate it!

la pomme: it's a really cute dress! I think it would work for prom smile.gif
la pomme
hpnotiq: really? biggrin.gif yay. that's good. it's like a cocktail dress so i thought it might not be the typical prom dress. but i really liked it.
hpnotiq
^ Well it's not the typical prom dress since the typical one is usually a gown. But I personally think it's beautiful! You may want to check the fabric though. It looks kinda thin, which wouldn't be too prom-like.
la pomme
yeah i tried it on at the store and i dont have a picture of me wearing it yet but i might add that later. but here's a bigger picture of hte dress.
it's not a very good picture but like u can see the details and sort of what kind of material.
maochi
i wish i had the boobs for the prom dresses... btw my prom is tomorrow night ahh im super excited buy kinda scared.... there are chances of rain =[

This is my $30 prom dress I bought yesterday.
I'm in love with it.





my sister wore that to winter formal. $30?!!! she got it for 80
Alias1234ever

This is my prom dress for this year. The light color makes me look a bit wide... and it's just from windsors, but it's not my senior prom and I think it'll do smile.gif

Honestly, I've seen extremely similar dresses to this at Forever21.
It is a cute dress, but not worth the $ and not formal enough for Prom (compared to the other long/satiny gowns). Homecoming, maybe :/ Otherwise you would have to really wow with your hair or something so you won't stand out of the crowd as 'under dressed'.
jaeisDBSKlove
this is my prom dress from Lord & Taylor.

the material is actually satiny & lacy near the bottom. that was a bad picture though.

gmae; i LOVE your room [:
is it your house or still living w/ parents?
lavender_girl
Wow all the dresses are so nice smile.gif



What do u guys think of this dress? Too plain for prom?
cherries176
i love this dress, but its way over my budget. it is $300 but my budget is $200. i love the color!!

Yayy i got my prom dress (: finally made a final decision @______@ hmmm any idea how i should do my hair? or should i leave it be?

Jah nee nee x
I think you should put it up, and maybe leave your bangs down ..
I love your dress~ mine is short too, but its because im clumsy so if i had a long one+heels I might be falling all over the place laugh.gif
this is my dress:

our theme is Phantom of the Opera(how cool is that?) do you think my dress goes along with the theme?

^ i think that dress is too casual for prom, especially since the theme is phantom of the opera

I love your dress! where'd you get it?
joonieballoonie
Ha, I love that red dress, too - really flattering to the boobs, probably (though I wouldn't know since that model has no boobs). That Jovani dress is really similar! But it kinda loses something around the chest area, I think. Here are a couple more dresses I absolutely love...just because I like to dream.





...and some short ones...



^^I thought that one was fun biggrin.gif
joonieki
hey. here are a few dresses i've been looking at, which one do you guys like?




this third dress should be the color of the second dress, not yellow.

domokunn
^ out of those 3, the first one

Hey guys, sophomore here, but was asked, so I went!!!
The prom was yesterday and I had mine custom-made to this style, except the color was emerald and it frayed just a tad bit more at the bottom! It was a fun night!


empress727


I think that's gonna be my dress this year since I haven't found anything else I like. It's nice and simple, and i love the color smile.gif

im not sure if im going to prom this year.. our theme is automobile..... or oxygen gas.. iono... cause the location will be at an automobile museum and there will be oxygen bars. lmao?


when i think of prom.... i think of tacky long silk/satin gowns.. i know its supposed to be a 'formal' event a la cotillian events but not quite, but i can just imagine most girls wearing these long pageant-y dresses... really tacky.. no offense.

at the moment i have 2 dresses in mind.. but that does not mean ill buy them b/c they are very expensive and so not worth to wear once at a high school prom...

junya watanabe..

it's short and white but i think it's sort of unique.... comparing to the traditional prom dresses.. i like how puffy it is.. it reminds me of some chanel haute couture dresses circa 2006-2007.. i think if i were to add some white chanel camelia brooch, it would look like a chanel dress!!!!!!

this pretty dress is priced @ $817.. not too bad considering it's junya watanabe.. if i could buy this dress, i would probably wear it with some killer christian louboutin heels in black or white.. or maybe these chanel flower sandals from this season..


junya watanabe sleeveless dress
see the back of the dress....
this dress is available in a navy color but its more expensive. i dont know why.. or maybe the navy one is slightly different?????

________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________


burberry prorsum
$3895... very expensive and so not prom like.. but i really like it..

paired with some louboutin mad marys... this outfit would rock!!!!

________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________

i would wear minimal jewelry... no diamonds or that shiny tacky stuff.. no necklaces, actually... maybe some chunky bracelets but i would tone them down.. maybe one ring... i would wear short, small earrings... none of those chandelier earrings, please.. i probably wouldnt have a clutch or a handbag... or i would just leave it in the car or limo or w/e....

i dont know how i would do my hair.. for the watanabe dress i would put it up perhaps in a ponytail w/ some curls... for the prorsum one i would probably just curl my hair and leave it free like lily donaldson.. not sure how i would do my makeup but probably a lil dark, rock n roll ish.. iono....

_____________

i probably won't go to prom this year... ill go next year since it will be my senior year...

_____edit...


some other dresses that i would love to wear..

any valentino gown.. actually not quite.. but like the one blair wore for her 17th birthday in gossip girl??? probably impossible to find!!!!! or that amazing quintessential red valentino that jennyjohn teshinghumphrey stole from that hazel chick's mom?

a chanel couture dress... have no pic right now but i know what dress.....

a zac posen dress... even though im not fond of posen's designs.. but theres this eyecatching dress...... that i think would be lovely..... not exactly prom style.. more like glamour rock and roll... i dont have the pic atm...

a lanvin jeweled dress by the almight elbaz! dont have a specific one..

an alberta ferretti dress? most of ferretti's dresses are gorgeous...


if i have time later i'll look for pics and post!
